I recently bought a domain name from Yahoo Domains. I wanted to go with a reputable company so I wouldn't have to worry about the service dropping off the face of the earth after a month or two due to going bankrupt. But anyway...<P>Right now, it's functioning in a manner so that when you type in <A HREF="http://www.wimha.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.wimha.com</A> , it redirects to <A HREF="http://wordsimighthaveate.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://wordsimighthaveate.keenspace.com</A> , causing the URL to change as well. I want it to stick as <A HREF="http://www.wimha.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.wimha.com</A> , like how it does for, for instance, <A HREF="http://www.stubblecomics.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.stubblecomics.com</A> or <A HREF="http://www.rpgworldcomic.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.rpgworldcomic.com</A> . How would I go about making this happen?<P>Thanks.<P>------------------
Look. I said something witty. ...Oh wait. No I didn't.

First you have to contact <a href="mailto:nate@keenspot.com">Nate</a> to setup your account to accept your domain. I don't know how Yahoo's site management works, but with Network Solutions you set the "Nameserver" to your keenspace account. <P>I <i>think</i> that's how it works, but I just got my domain (prettymagic.com) yesterday and it's not set-up yet. Still waiting on Nate.
